Passing Another Vehicle While

you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the
previous set cruise speed. While

override cruise, briefly pressing
SET/− will result in cruise set to the
current vehicle speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well cruise control will work on
hills depends on the vehicle speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills.
When going up steep hills, you
might have to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you
might have to brake or shift to a
lower gear to keep your speed
down. If the brake pedal is applied,
cruise control will disengage.
